What's really pathetic is that comic book titles have lasted for decades, and the so-called MCU is struggling to make a halfway decent movie. For example, Thanos first appeared in Iron Man #55 in 1968. And it wasn't until 1991 that "The Infinity Gauntlet" happened. That's 23 years of Thanos showing up now and then, and the readers getting to know him and his love for Death. Not to mention the decades of getting to know Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, etc. before Thanos snapped his fingers.
And they kept the stories going, every month, for decades. I think the biggest problem with the movies is they either don't want to be comics, or they fail to understand what makes comics work: either too realistic or not realistic enough. Of course, many people of the average movie going public couldn't give a flip at a rolling donut for comics. So we get these one-hit wonder movies that run out of steam as soon as they build up steam.
